Description
Paul Hill, Ralph Wilkins and Jenifer Millard host. Damien Phillips and John Wildridge produce. The Discussion: As a reward for good behavior, we’ve dispensed with wittering on about us and gone straight into the news. The News: Rounding up the space exploration news this month we have: - The last of the Delta IV mediums. - India’s Vikram lunar lander failure. - ESA move a satellite to avoid crashing with a SpaceX satellite. - NASA award funding for a Lunar Gateway pathfinding cubist. - Australia & Japan commit to supporting NASA’s moonshot, Project Artemis. - NASA place orders for the first of possibly 12 Orion moon capsules. Main news stories: A roundup of Elon Musk’s Herculean benevolent/malevolent efforts to get giant phalluses on Mars. The Debate: Court is in session for the fifth and final round of advocacy to get a winner from your top ten historic space missions. This month Judge Damien presides over arguments between the International Space Station and the Pioneer missions. Q&A: With the news of a near collision between a SpaceX and an ESA satellite, does that mean more satellite collisions in the future?
